Can anyone confirm that a "Radisson Suites Hotel" is a Radisson for the purposes of the promotion? Some say suites, and some do not. For example, Radisson Suites Hotel Buena Park. Thanks!

So the gov't rates don't save you all that much at some properties (sometimes only $1), but the one I was looking at it saves $30. I sent the general manager an email, and he confirmed that gov't contractors (I have official ID) will qualify for the gov't rate and offered to get me in touch with the reservations manager.
So even though it doesn't sound like it will fly in the T's & C's, you might want to try it.

OK,
this can be labeled under stupid of forgetful
I stayed at a country inn and forgot to registrar for that promo, well now of course its only 14K pts and even at that the stay was before the registration. What can I do now? Any suggestions?

Potential loophole
I was just awarded 44k bonus points from the Park inn promotion even before I stay at the hotel
Basically, I got the points on May 31st and my stay will be on Jun 14
The hotel is Park Inn by Radisson Hotel and Water Park Albuquerque NM
I detailed it in this post. I think it might be a loophole or error from their part. If someone is willing to test it and report the results
I used Cash and Point option

Earn and Burn!
These points lasted less than 48 hours in my account.
Just booked an award night in europe!
It is ludicrous that one night after taxes is $700!
It is during peak summer sporting event, so I am happy to get a room.
Got redemption value of 1.7CPP.
It did hurt to let go of 50K in one shot since I wanted to use C+P across multiple nigths/stays, but pretty happy to get a room.
No SPG/HH properties in town, so it is good to diversify in hotel programs.

and as you say in your blog,
"...it is a bad idea for me to brag out their IT failure... ".
Seems likely it will be reversed,
but let us know !

But most people don't have a Park Inn nearby and if you can get the promo by just booking the Park Inn Albuquerque then it is such a great deal
I just can't test it myself now since I ready get the point

I'm confused about the term "Park Inn by Radisson", I stayed in Park Inn Gurgaon, India for 2 nights this weekend (one on my name and other on my wife's). This park inn is from Sarovar hotels and is affiliated to Carlson group. So, the name of the hotel doesn't say "Park Inn by Radisson".
Not spending the bonus points after spending about $180 USD would be disappointing.
Anyone knows which are the "participating hotels" for the Park Inn promo?

might have been asked before
but can people that live in the same household (same home address @ Club Carlson) all sign up for the same promotion, me+mom+sister? I can't imagine that would be an issue but want to check before we all book our stays

Not an issue so long as you meet the terms and conditions: "you must have a valid address and email address and be an individual who is at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in the place where you live, whichever is older."
